Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Genet had considerable shortcomings as a diplomat, more important was his inability to accept the irreconcilable differences between the two countries, particularly in their commitment to popular sovereignty and the doctrine of the rights of man. In addition, neither Genet nor his government understood the nature or power of the presidency; in his efforts to win popular support for the French cause, Genet provoked Washington and his cabinet, and the administration eventually demanded the minister's recall. While the mission ended in failure, the public controversy stirred up by Genet constituted a vital step in the formation of the first political parties in the United States. The debate over his demands, which involved common people to an unprecedented degree, led to the infusion of a more democratic strain into the political process, long dominated by an elite leadership.

Download or read book Narrative and Critical History of America Vol 7 written by Justin Winsor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 7: Part II State, War, the Treasury, the post-office, and the Judiciary were organized, and a light-house and customs-revenue systems were begun the first steps were taken toward the establishment of the census, naturaliza tion, patents and copyrights, territorial government, pensions, and inter course with the Indian tribes. Provision was also made for the settlement of the present national capital at Washington, and the national and State debts were provided for (1790) arrangements were adopted for the admis sion of the new States of Kentucky and Vermont, and the first Bank of the United States was chartered the mint and coinage, the consular service, and the militia were regulated (1792) and interstate extradition of fugitives from justice and fugitive slaves was provided for Ratification by North Carolina and Rhode Island made the orig inal number of States again complete; and the first ten amendments to the Constitution, subsequently ratified by the States, were adopted by Congress. The contrast between this picture of legislative activity and the, impo tence of the system so recently defunct must have been very great. The United States no longer presented the awful spectacle, as Hamilton had expressed it, of a nation without a national government. But the contrast was enough to bring out to plain view the sharp dividing line between the two essential political parties of the country. Congress, a new and unfamiliar body, sitting at New York, was instantly recognized as a serious restriction on the only republican governments which the people had hitherto known, - the States. Jefferson, Washington's Sec retary of State, was the natural leader of those who wished to construe the Federal government's powers strictly, so as to retain as much as possible to the State governments; and in 1793 his followers began to assume the name of the Republican party,1 in opposition to the dominant Federalist party, of which Hamilton was now the recognized leader. Genet's mission (1793) brought out the fact that the Federalists were as cool towards the rights of man as the Republicans were warm; and for the next half dozen years American politics were largely Gallican and Anglican.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize–winning author’s stunning trilogy of American history, spanning the birth of the Constitution to the final days of the Cold War. In these three volumes, Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winner James MacGregor Burns chronicles with depth and narrative panache the most significant cultural, economic, and political events of American history. In The Vineyard of Liberty, he combines the color and texture of early American life with meticulous scholarship. Focusing on the tensions leading up to the Civil War, Burns brilliantly shows how Americans became divided over the meaning of Liberty. In The Workshop of Democracy, Burns explores more than a half-century of dramatic growth and transformation of the American landscape, through the addition of dozens of new states, the shattering tragedy of the First World War, the explosion of industry, and, in the end, the emergence of the United States as a new global power. And in The Crosswinds of Freedom, Burns offers an articulate and incisive examination of the US during its rise to become the world’s sole superpower—through the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Cold War, and the rapid pace of technological change that gave rise to the “American Century.”

Download or read book Empire of Liberty written by Gordon S. Wood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, two New York Times bestsellers, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. Now, in the newest volume in the series, one of America's most esteemed historians, Gordon S. Wood, offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic, ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national government to the end of the War of 1812. As Wood reveals, the period was marked by tumultuous change in all aspects of American life--in politics, society, economy, and culture. The men who founded the new government had high hopes for the future, but few of their hopes and dreams worked out quite as they expected. They hated political parties but parties nonetheless emerged. Some wanted the United States to become a great fiscal-military state like those of Britain and France; others wanted the country to remain a rural agricultural state very different from the European states. Instead, by 1815 the United States became something neither group anticipated. Many leaders expected American culture to flourish and surpass that of Europe; instead it became popularized and vulgarized. The leaders also hope to see the end of slavery; instead, despite the release of many slaves and the end of slavery in the North, slavery was stronger in 1815 than it had been in 1789. Many wanted to avoid entanglements with Europe, but instead the country became involved in Europe's wars and ended up waging another war with the former mother country. Still, with a new generation emerging by 1815, most Americans were confident and optimistic about the future of their country. Named a New York Times Notable Book, Empire of Liberty offers a marvelous account of this pivotal era when America took its first unsteady steps as a new and rapidly expanding nation.
